Hello Everyone!

My goal is to post ALL this week.

Trivia.

Here we go!

in Danish.

3. Sinterklaas comes with
gifts on December 5th in the
Netherlands.

4. According to tradition, in Greece
the "Great Log" burns in the fireplace
for 12 days between December 25-
January 6th.

5. Alabama became the first state
in 1836 to recognize Christmas as
a legal holiday.

6. The needles of the Eastern

good source of Vitamin C.
They have five times the

7. The Salvation Army has been
taking donations in the iconic
